The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Thursday as neither team is afraid to steal. Jefferson has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.6 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Edison struggles in that department as they've been averaging 3.4 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.

Jefferson couldn't quite finish off Edison in their previous matchup back in March and fell 3-1. Will the Mustangs have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check back here after the action for a full breakdown and analysis of the contest.
